Mmmmm somethink gone wrong with my XP icons keep moving around when i open explorer, did a google search and side could be a spyware prob, so i downloaded a program to removie any spyware which it found 3 of, then when i did reboot i got blue screen error 2 times, had to select last good configuration to get system back up and running dont know what caused it.??? Im just doiung a system SFC /SCANNOW and coz it has SP3 on the system im having problems getting everythink back to normal, even tho i have just downloaded SP3 pack..

could it be the Theme packs that screwed me up, i cant see it, myself, but im working on trying to fix the problem, or if fails may have to format PC Drive and start fresh again.. lucky my system dont have much on it this time.

Steve

Edited.. Think i found the problem. was a HyperDesk custom theme problem, ive removed it, and checkingto see if it still keeps happening ..

Honestly, I wouldn't use window blinds. It heavily impacts computer performance and the interface coolness isn't worth it. I use a hack for windows themes and a simplistic custom theme on my computer and I don't suffer any performance loss.

Indeed, it's all about how fit the girl is on your wallpaper.
